Exactly! Nobody has to listen to OP and change plans because OP doesn’t approve! Like you, OP is free to NOT use the product!

So, you’re saying that if you keep watching happy people grooving, you’ll keep the pessimism “at bay”? I can supply more!

I understand the frustration, but that third paragraph suggests you’re not very happy with yourself? I ask because everybody knows a country is not a sentient being with feelings and opinions; a country is just a variety of individuals with differing opinions. Anyway, flowers can grow even in junkyards; can we not find peace and the means to enjoy and improve ourselves… in any country?

This is the basis for every sovereign citizen (aka “sovcits”); isn’t it? Doesn’t sovereign citizenry really only make sense if a sovcit goes “all the way”? I ask this because sovcits seem to partake in society’s services provided by the collective (like roads, traffic signals, police, firefighters, etc.) while complaining about state overreach when (1) they have to pay something like property tax or (2) when they have to deal with LE. I’m not saying you’re wrong to have a sovcit mentality, but doesn’t a sovcit have to stop using society’s services and put up a real defense when LE gets involved? I’m not recommending you do either; I’m just saying while the system is flawed, at least, Western “democracies” have one. The alternative seems to be (1) leaving the country or (2) fighting anybody who threatens your sovereignty.

Yeah, it would be great to have to arm myself just to drive down the street because the dude at the corner decided to implement a toll to drive in front of his house. Lawlessness! The only law of the land under anarchy is might. The concept of “right” goes out the window.

You didn’t mention where you are in the transition from hardware-to-DAW or what your objective(s) are, but I suppose there is no need for any of that if you are happy. Why not put together a midi-only song (only DAW-generated sounds)? It’s just an idea.

I see God in it all. I don’t believe all these “hi-tech features” would ever come about with random mutations causing an advantage from time to time. It’s just too awesome imo. Oxygen, beauty, exuberant life, building materials… Water is equally miraculous imo. There’s so much more!

I am simply “representing” my POV. I already know lots of people don’t like anything religious, but if atheists can openly be themselves, doesn’t everybody else have the same right? So, that’s all this is. Just like Richard Dawkins and Keanu Reeves, I’m not interested in debate. I’m just representing.

Hey, thanks a lot; I just thought I’d let you know that the problem with having to login all the time might be my own fault. It might be the Cookie-Auto-Delete extension that I added to Firefox. This issue may also be the reason embedded u-tub videos keep suggesting I’m a bot. Either way, thx.
